In addition, the company updated its guidance for 2016.

• Adjusted EBITDA – Increased $0.1 million to $36.8 million.
• Adjusted FFO – Declined $0.5 million to $26.7 million. Adjusted FFO per diluted share was $0.69, within the company’s guidance of $0.69-$0.71 per share.

Consolidated Financial Results

The following is a summary of the consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. RevPAR, ADR and occupancy for 2016 and 2015 are based on hotels owned as of June 30, 2016 ($ in millions, except per share, RevPAR, ADR, occupancy and margins):

    Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2016   2015 2016   2015 Net income $12.3 $12.8 $15.6 $14.3 Diluted net income per common share $0.31 $0.33 $0.40 $0.37 RevPAR $141 $140 $132 $130 ADR $164 $163 $162 $161 Occupancy 86% 86% 82% 81% Adjusted EBITDA $36.8 $36.7 $64.3 $61.1 GOP Margin 50.7% 52.0% 48.8% 50.1% Hotel EBITDA Margin 44.2% 46.1% 41.9% 43.7% AFFO $26.7 $27.2 $44.4 $42.2 AFFO per diluted share $0.69 $0.71 $1.15 $1.11 Dividends per share $0.33 $0.30 $0.64 $0.60  

Operating Results

“RevPAR growth continued to decelerate in the 2016 second quarter as weakening industry fundamentals persisted with increased supply combined with muted demand and GDP growth,” said Jeffrey H. Fisher, Chatham’s president and chief executive officer. “As an industry, we are finding it very difficult to drive rate increases given weaker business demand and the impact on rates from the online travel agents, as well as increased supply in certain gateway markets.

“Our RevPAR growth of 0.6 percent was below our RevPAR growth guidance of 2-3 percent,” Fisher noted. “We were able to maintain occupancy at a very high 86 percent year-over-year during the quarter, but were not able to drive meaningful rate increases. The industry benefitted in the second quarter from the Easter and July 4th calendar shifts, but our hotels were already at an occupancy level that made for a tough year-over-year comparison.”

“In the face of a challenging quarter where our RevPAR growth underperformed our expectations, we produced operating results within our guidance range with adjusted FFO per share of $0.69 coming in at the lower-end of our guidance range, as hotel EBITDA margins were within our guidance range. We also benefitted from lower than expected income taxes and slightly better than expected FFO from our joint venture investments,” explained Dennis Craven, Chatham’s chief operating officer. “With RevPAR growth of 0.6 percent, we were unable to hold our gross operating profit margins, and comparable operating margins declined 120 basis points. In addition to minimum wage pressures in certain markets, we continue to see substantial increases in certain non-controllable expenses related to guest acquisition costs, such as travel agency commissions and guest reward costs.”

Joint Venture Investment Performance

During the quarter, the Innkeepers and Inland joint ventures contributed Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO of approximately $4.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the joint ventures contributed Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO of approximately $8.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

Chatham received distributions of $3.2 million during the quarter from the joint ventures. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Chatham received distributions of $4.1 million from the joint ventures. Chatham invested $50.1 million for its approximate 10 percent interest in the two joint ventures.

Capital Markets & Capital Structure

As of June 30, 2016, the company had net debt of $585.5 million (total consolidated debt less unrestricted cash). Total debt outstanding was $600.8 million at an average interest rate of 4.4 percent, comprised of $534.6 million of fixed-rate mortgage debt at an average interest rate of 4.7 percent and $66.3 million outstanding on the company’s $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which currently carries an interest rate of 2.6 percent.

Chatham’s leverage ratio was approximately 41 percent at June 30, 2016, based on the ratio of the company’s net debt to hotel investments at cost. The weighted average maturity date for Chatham’s fixed rate debt is February 2024. As of June 30, 2016, Chatham’s proportionate share of joint venture debt and unrestricted cash was $168.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

On June 30, 2016, as defined in the company’s credit agreement, Chatham’s fixed charge coverage ratio, including its interest in the two joint ventures, was 3.5 times, and total net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 5.8 times. Excluding its interests in the two joint ventures with NorthStar, Chatham’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.6 times, and net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA was 5.2 times.

“During the quarter, we generated significant free cash flow and reduced our net debt by $8.1 million,” said Jeremy Wegner, Chatham’s chief financial officer. “Our capital structure is solid with no debt maturing before late 2020. Additionally, given our minimal exposure to any increase in interest rates and our very strong coverage ratios, we remain well protected at this point in the cycle.”

Dividend

During the first quarter, Chatham’s Board of Trustees increased its regular monthly dividend by 10 percent, or $0.01 per common share, to $0.11 per common share. Chatham currently pays a monthly dividend of $0.11 per common share. “Despite the reduction in our 2016 guidance, our 2016 cash dividend per share of $1.30 will represent approximately 57 percent of our estimated Adjusted FFO per share based on the midpoint of our guidance, so we believe the dividend remains safe and supportable,” Craven emphasized.

Hotel Reinvestments/Expansions

During the 2016 second quarter, Chatham substantially completed the renovation of the Homewood Suites in Carlsbad, Calif., the Courtyard by Marriott in Addison, Texas, and the Hilton Garden Inn in Burlington, Mass. No renovations are planned for the third quarter.

The 32-room expansion of the Residence Inn Palo Alto Mountain View in Silicon Valley is nearing completion. The company expects the building to be completed in August with the certificate of occupancy contingent upon final electrical connections and inspections.

2016 Guidance

“We are reducing our previously announced full-year Adjusted EBITDA and FFO per share guidance by approximately 5 percent and our RevPAR growth range by 200-250 basis points based on the current outlook for the hotel industry and our portfolio. Lower GDP growth is adversely impacting the lodging industry, and for our portfolio, new supply is an added constraint. We expect these trends to continue for the balance of 2016, and with RevPAR growth at these levels, our industry leading margins are expected to decline slightly,” Fisher concluded.

The company provides guidance, but does not undertake to update it for any developments in its business. Achievement of the results is subject to the risks disclosed in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company’s guidance reflects the following:

• U.S. GDP growth rate of approximately 1.5 percent for the last six months of 2016.
• Renovation at Residence Inn San Diego Gaslamp during the fourth quarter.
• Opening of the 32-room tower in Mountain View, Calif., during the third quarter.
• No additional acquisitions, dispositions, debt or equity issuance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this press release are certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations, that are different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). The company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its operating performance: (1) FFO, (2) Adjusted FFO, (3) EBITDA, (4) Adjusted EBITDA and (5) Adjusted Hotel EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as prescribed by GAAP as a measure of its operating performance.

FFO As Defined by NAREIT and Adjusted FFO

The company calculates FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate, impairment write-downs, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, plus depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures following the same approach. The company believes that the presentation of FFO provides useful information to investors regarding its operating performance because it measures its performance without regard to specified non-cash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale of real estate assets and certain other items that the company believes are not indicative of the property level performance of its hotel properties. The company believes that these items reflect historical cost of its asset base and its acquisition and disposition activities and are less reflective of its ongoing operations, and that by adjusting to exclude the effects of these items, FFO is useful to investors in comparing its operating performance between periods and between REITs that also report using the NAREIT definition.

The company calculates Adjusted FFO by further adjusting FFO for certain additional items that are not addressed in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, including hotel property acquisition costs and other charges, losses on the early extinguishment of debt and similar items related to its unconsolidated real estate entities that it believes do not represent costs related to recurring operations. The company believes that Adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that make similar adjustments to FFO.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA

The company calculates EBITDA for purposes of the credit facility debt as net income or loss excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) provision for income taxes, including income taxes applicable to sale of assets; (3) depreciation and amortization; and (4) unconsolidated real estate entity items including interest, depreciation and amortization excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate. The company believes EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating its operating performance because it helps investors compare the company’s operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results. In addition, the company uses EBITDA as one measure in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions.

The company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by further adjusting EBITDA for certain additional items, including hotel property acquisition costs and other charges, gains or losses on the sale of real estate, losses on the early extinguishment of debt, amortization of non-cash share-based compensation and similar items related to its unconsolidated real estate entities, which it believes are not indicative of the performance of its underlying hotel properties entities. The company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures.

Adjusted Hotel EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, corporate general and administrative, hotel property acquisition costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, interest and other income and income or loss from unconsolidated real estate entities. The Company presents Adjusted Hotel EBITDA because the Company believes it is useful to investors in comparing its hotel operating performance between periods and comparing its Adjusted Hotel EBITDA margins to those of our peer companies. Adjusted Hotel EBITDA represents the results of operations for its wholly owned hotels only.

Although the company presents FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes they are useful to investors in comparing the company’s operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, these measures have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the company’s working capital needs;
• FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect funds available to make cash distributions;
• EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the company’s debts;
• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
• Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of the company’s overall long-term incentive compensation package, although the company excludes it as an expense when evaluating its ongoing operating performance for a particular period using adjusted EBITDA;
• Adjusted FFO, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges (including acquisition transaction costs) that result from matters the company considers not to be indicative of the underlying performance of its hotel properties; and
• Other companies in the company’s industry may calculate FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA differently than the company does, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

In addition, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA are not measures of the Company’s liquidity. Because of these limitations, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA only supplementally. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The company’s reconciliation of FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA to net income attributable to common shareholders, as determined under GAAP, is set forth below.
